Oscar Winner Marion Cotillard: America's 9/11 and Moon Landing Conspiracy

Marion Cotillard was one of many non-American Academy Award Winners this year, and gave one of the most heartfelt, genuine acceptance speeches of anyone who has ever received an Oscar. She was virtually unknown in the U.S., and few Americans saw her performance in the film "La Vie en Rose" as singer Edith Piaf, but after her Oscar win, she's been thrust into the American spotlight. It's not for her Academy Award-winning performance, however.

Americans love dirt, and the more famous someone gets, the harder we try to dig it up. Unfortunately for Marion, it wasn't that hard to find some reason for Americans to dislike the actress. Of course Americans want to dislike her, because she's French to begin with, and the whole world knows how America feels about the French. To give one of our prestigious awards that should have gone to the beloved Juno (whose real name is Ellen Page, by the way), is just blasphemous. So what did she do? She attacked America in two places where it really hurts: 9/11 and the moon landing.

She stated in an interview about a year ago that she believes that the 9/11 attacks were orchestrated by the U.S. government because the buildings would cost too much to modernize, so it was easier to just destroy them. This is an outrageous claim, but with the way the government here has been, who knows? Based on what the film Fahrenheit 9/11 revealed, the attacks could have at least been prevented, given the government's knowledge of terrorist activity before they happened. So maybe in addition to keeping George Bush in office, they were getting rid of unwanted buildings by just letting it happen. (Okay, this may be a little out there, but you really can't trust our government, so I don't put anything past them.)
